INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

STEP 1: DETERMINE LOCATION OF LIFT

The Able Bath Lift comes with two (2) wall mounting brackets. The wall-mounting bracketsmust be installed as shown here to ensure that there will be ample support for the lift. In orderto install the brackets a section of the wallboard must be removed and braces must be added asshown in FIGURE 3 or FIGURE 3A. The braces are shown constructed from 2X4 lumber,but may be the same size as the lumber used in the wall section (2X4 or 2X6) and should besecured to the existing studs with 8P common nails or screws. The shower curtain-rod willneed to be moved up to 92” as shown.

The general requirements for the installation are:

1. THE BATHTUB CAN BE NO MORE THAN 22” [560 mm] HIGH2. THE CEILING MUST BE AT LEAST 8 FEET [2.4 meters] HIGH3. THERE MUST BE ONE CLEAR ADJASCENT WALL FOR MOUNTING

4

NOTES ON TYPICAL INSTALLATION:

The installation shown in FIGURE 1 and FIGURE 2 is just one possible installation. But for allinstallations the following holds true:

1. THE ABLE BATH LIFT MAY BE ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BATHTUB.2. THE WHEELCHAIR-LOADING MAY TAKE PLACE AT ANY LOCATION.3. THE CENTER-TO-CENTER DISTANCE SHOULD BE 24 INCHES (OR LESS).4. THE ABLE BATH LIFT SHOULD BE INSTALLED OPPOSITE TO THE FAUCET.

The Able Bath Lift can go over certain obstacles, such as a commode, so it is possible to haveother objects along the path of the lift – as long as there is room for the chair and the occupantto clear the obstacle. But in general the area should be clear.

5

STEP 2: CONSTRUCT WALL BRACES & ATTACH BRACKETS(NOTE – ONLY IF BRACKETS FIT BETWEEN WALL STUDS –OTHERWISE SEE FIGURE 3A)

6

STEP 3: INSTALL WALL BRACES & WALL BRACKETS

The WALL BRACKETS, installed on WALL BRACES from STEP 2, will next be mountedinside the wall. FIGURE 3, below, shows an overview of the installation details. See the nextpage for STEP-BY-STEP instructions.

NOTE: The center-to center distance, measured from the centerline of the bathtub to thecenterline of the WALL BRACKETS, is 24” maximum. If this distance is much more than 24”there is a chance the seat will not clear the near-wall of the bathtub. This distance (24”) may bereduced for instances where the seat can’t rotate and extend to a full 24” (obstacle) or when thefinal position of the seat needs to be more towards the middle of the bathtub (as opposed toagainst the adjacent wall). Refer to FIGURE 2 for a better idea of what a shorter center-to-center dimension would do to your installation. MAKE SURE THIS DISTANCE ISCORRECT BEFORE INSTALLING THE WALL BRACKETS. This is a case where you wantto be absolutely sure – you only want to do this part once! Also, note that the bracket may beplaced anywhere along the 14-1/2” space between the studs, which gives you 9” of adjustmentrange. For instances where this is not enough, the bracket may be rotated 90° and mountedover a stud (see FIGURE 3A). When the wall brackets have been installed the wallboardshould then be replaced. THE BRACKETS SHOULD BE FLUSH WITH THE FINISHEDWALL AND WITH EACH OTHER. This is also very important, because the MAINASSEMBLY of the lift must be level and plumb.

7

STEP 3: DETAILED INSTRUCTIONS (STEP-BY-STEP)

8

STEP 3A: ALTERNATIVE WALL-BRACKET INSTALLATION

For instances where the wall stud is in the way ofinstalling the wall bracket as shown in FIGURE 3,the brackets may be rotated 90° and mounted overthe stud. Therefore it should be possible using eitherFIGURE 3 or FIGURE 3A to position the wallbrackets properly, with a center-to-center distanceof not more than 24”.

NOTES ON ALTERNATIVE INSTALLATION:

1. THE WALL BRACKETS ARE TURNED 90° TO FITOVER THE WALL STUD.

2. FOR ADDED STRENGTH, ONE OR MORE OF THE2X4 VERTICAL BRACES MAY BE EXTENDED TOTHE PLATE (FLOOR)

3. BY USING BRACES OF DIFFERENT THICKNESS,THE WALL BRACKET SPACING MAY BEADJUSTED UP TO 4-1/2” SIDE-TO-SIDE.

4. THE SPACING FROM THE NEAR-EDGE OF THEBRACKETS TO THE BATHTUB CENTERLINE ISNOW 20-1/2” (MAX). CENTER-TO-CENTER ISSTILL (ALWAYS) 24” MAXIMUM.

ABLE: LIFT INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! THIS ASSEMBLY IS VERY HEAVY!A MINIMUM OF TWO PEOPLE IS REQUIRED!

Once the wall-brackets have been installed and the wall is restored to finished state the ABLEBath lift can be installed onto the wall. Start by bolting the MAIN ASSEMBLY to the wall asshown using;

(8) 3/8” FLAT WASHERS (STAINLESS STEEL)(8) 3/8” NYLOCK NUTS (STAINLESS STEEL)

Put a level on the top of the main assembly and tilt until the bubble is centered. Tighten thenylock-nuts using a 9/16” wrench or socket.

10

Next attach the SEAT ARM ASSEMBLY to the MAIN ASSEMBLY as shown, using;

(2) 3/8” X 2” SHOULDER BOLTS (STAINLESS STEEL)(4) 5/16” FLAT WASHERS (STAINLESS STEEL)(2) 5/16”-18 NYLOCK NUTS (STAINLESS STEEL)

Tighten the nuts until snug, using 1/2” wrenches and/or sockets.

11

LIFT WIRING:

The lift will arrive completely wired, but the handset cable needs to be installed properlybefore the lift will function. The diagram below shows the basic wiring diagram for the ABLEBath Lift.

Install the handset cable as shown, with the tab to the frontas you insert the plug into the socket. Push firmly upwardsuntil the plug is fully seated. The lift will not function if theplugs are not fully seated.

Remove the charger and the battery from the equipment box, and place the charger where it can beconveniently plugged into a 115v outlet.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: THE ABLE BATH LIFT

WARNING: READ THIS SECTION THOROUGHLY BEFOREATTEMPTING TO USE OR OPERATE THIS PRODUCT!!!

The ABLE Bath Lift is designed for optimal flexibility and functionality, and when usedproperly can make bathing a simple pleasure again for handicapped and physically challengedindividuals. Note that the seat itself pivots 360° for maximum usability, and that the user mayposition the seat at any height and/or rotational-angle necessary to negotiate obstacles orfeatures in the facility. Therefore be advised that these instructions are intended to provide ageneral understanding of the features and capabilities of the ABLE Bath Lift, and do notrepresent a totally comprehensive guide to all possible uses and applications. But in any casethis section should be read and reviewed thoroughly by all intended users and operators beforeattempting to use the ABLE Bath lift.

The diagram above shows how transfer to the seat can be done from any direction. Pivot theseat to the position that makes transfer most convenient and then roll the wheelchair up next toor in front of the seat. Remember to fasten the seatbelt once transfer has been accomplished.

Note that the seat will often need to be rotated as the unit rotates to position it squarely over thebathtub. This also allows the user to start in one position and rotate the seat into another foractual bathing. This step may require operator assistance, or grab-rails may be installed alongthe wall to make this process self-sufficient. All of this is contingent on the capabilities andmobility of the patient/user, but always remember that the seat pivots manually.

13

Shown above is a typical situation where the user must rotate the seat 180° as the pivot-armswings the lift over the bathtub. Once the seat is properly positioned over the bathtub it may belowered down into the water. In some instancesthe seat may not need to be rotated, but in anycase it should end up in the position shownabove, or in a similar position for otherconfigurations.

WARNING: MAKE SURE THE SEATBELTIS SECURELY FASTENED BEFOREMOVING.

All maneuvering is done using the handsetcontrol, which has four buttons (UP, DOWN,ROTATE LEFT, ROTATE RIGHT). Thebuttons are all ‘HOLD TO OPERATE’ typecontrols. Therefore, in order to move the seat uppress and hold the “UP” button until the desiredheight is reached. Release the button. The liftwill not move unless a button is depressed andheld. Do not push more than one button at atime, to avoid complications.

14

BATTERY SYSTEM OPERATING AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

The Able Bath Lift TM Battery system comes with a 24v sealed rechargeable battery, wallmount charging unit (with mounting bracket), control box, and a waterproof handheldcontroller. The control box is mounted to the Able Bath Lift TM and has a plug-in socket forthe actuator, the rotate motor and the handheld controller. The battery mounts directly abovethe control box with a quick-release clip.

The lift should be able to complete approximately 10-20 full cycles before the low batterysignal will sound. The low battery signal indicates approximately 20% battery life remaining.At this point, it is suggested that the battery be removed from the unit and recharged on thewall mount-charging unit.To recharge the battery, simply grip the top of the battery and depress the clip on the back ofthe battery. This will unclip the battery from the control box bracket and the battery can thenbe clipped into the wall mount charger. When the battery is correctly mounted to the charger,the CHARGE light will illuminate. When the battery is fully charged, the CHARGE lightwill GO OFF and you can return the battery to the Able Bath Lift.

APPLYING DIELECTRIC GREASE: In order to keep the battery/control box terminals fromcorroding a small packet of dielectric grease has been provided with the Able Bath Lift. Thelift will arrive with dielectric grease already applied to the terminals, but it is recommendedthat more grease be applied to the terminals every 6 months, or as often as needed to keep theterminals corrosion free. Apply the grease as shown in the figure below.
